Monday afternoon the nurse called and said they the doctor feels they should wait a week to start the chemo. After the major surgery, breathing issues and heart issues b4 it and so on he just felt that giving her a week to recover would be best. As much as we all wanted to get going on this right away I do feel this was the right decision. I had taken the day off yesterday to go with her to her first chemo and since that didn’t happen I went over to help her get ready for the day and just spend time with her. She decided that she was feeling well enough to go look at wigs and possibly a little shopping for clothes she can wear that are loose and comfortable. Last time we went looking for wigs she wound up in the hospital so every few minutes I kept asking are you ok. It made me nervous but short of tying her up nothing was going to keep her down. We found a great wig, some clothes at kohls and marshalls, ate at panera, went to trader joes, and then headed home. By this time her feet had completely swelled up so it was defiantly time to get her home even if we were only gone a couple of hours. Over all it was a great day and I just talked to her and she slept about 11 hours last night. She is sleeping in a recliner up stairs right now because she cant get herself out of bed very easily but I think thats a great amount of time considering the bed. She has to go in on friday for a repeat echo and a check up to the cardiologist. Then chemo will start on Tuesday. Its at 11:30am and will last at least 3 hours. We thought it was 90 minutes but that is just for one of the drugs. Over all she is doing much better and I am sure by next week she will be much better on her feet and ready to take on the world of Chemo!
In other life news we got to the Great Minnesota get together with friends on monday. It was a great time and ate some good and not so good food. It was a great night out and have another one planned with them on saturday to see a comedian and eat casino buffet food! Yum!
Its amazing how one minute life was all about infertility and miscarriages and now my only concern is my mom and getting her better. Hopefully redirecting my mind on something else will allow a miracle to happen in the one thing that Ive spent 3 1/2 trying to achieve.
